Current Line of Succession For The Valerian Throne








Valerian Royal Titles

 * Queen/King of Valeria - The leader of the entire kingdom. Above any local laws and makes all the decisions by themselves. Acts as the supreme commander of Valerian Royal Military as well. Does not have to answer to anyone. One person can have this title for as long as they hold major popularity through-out the kingdom. The former queen/king will be given the title of their home city if available and they will have to go through the line of succession in order to gain the title again. Each ruler can have an unlimited amount of reigns at the throne overall. Their number in the list will be determined by the current number of people currently on the list and will not be effected by any new people being added to the list later.


 * Princess/Prince of Valeria - Mostly just the selected successor or successor by royal bloodline or roots, but also has the second most power in the entire nation. The second in command of the kingdom. Has to obey any orders or commands issued by Queen/King of Valeria.


 * Princess/Prince of a specific city - Lot lower power than Queen/King of Valeria or Princess/Prince of Valeria, but still pretty effective all across the nation. Has most of their power in their specific city and makes the decisions regarding them. Has to obey any orders or commands issued by either of the titles that hold more power in the entire kingdom. Smallest towns cannot have and do not need their own princess/prince to keep order in the city, mostly because these towns do not have enough population for it to need one or that they are just simply too small for it yet.


 * Royal Advisor of the Queen/King of Valeria - This title is basically as powerful as the title of Prince/Princess of Valeria. They can give royal advice to the Queen/King just like Prince/Princess of Valeria which is still the second in command and are equally as effective on that, but they have little bit more of an effect on Queen/Kings decisions, which makes this title maybe a little bit more important than Prince/Princess of Valeria with the basic idea of being equally as effective.

Valerian Royal Military (VRM)
The Valerian Royal Military (VRM) is specifically designed for defense of the entire kingdom, which is its main purpose, but also acts as the major offensive force of the nation whenever needed. The military only acts under direct command of the Queen/King of Valeria, who acts as the supreme commander of the VRM. Valerian military currently has about 750,000 active personnel in service in all (By land, air and navy. Both women and men included). When the kingdom is under major safety threat that requires any military action or possibly needs it, the number of active personnel for VRM can be raised to about 978,000 by maximum. That order will be given only by King/Queen of Valeria directly. If that is not possible at the time of need, only then Prince/Princess of Valeria will have the power to assign the troops needed.
